Update on the last few months

Updating the blog always falls to the bottom of the priority list, but I wanted to take a minute to show you how much Luke is growing and some of the fun we have in daily life around here.

DECEMBER:
The girls were in the Christmas play at church for the first time - they loved practicing their songs in the car and at home.  Their favorites were "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" and "Joy to the World"  It was fun celebrating our Saviors birth - they ask lots of good (and tough) questions. 

We made Christmas cookies with Uncle D and Aunt Leslie - Caroline was very into the sprinkles and they were both very into the tasting!




I love the many faces of children - very serious to very silly in a moment!


Luke started chewing on everything - who knew he could fit his whole fist in his mouth?

Christmas morning - having fun with their presents



JANUARY:

Luke started eating solids and he loved it from the first spoonful.  No learning curve for him, he knew exactly what to do with that food.  Since Anthony and I both had our hands full, Caroline captured the moment for us - I think she did pretty good!

Luke loves to be standing up!


We had some "snow" days in January that were really just ice.  Anthony was home for several days with us and we did all the things you should do when you're stuck at home - baked cookies, watched movies, read books, played outside, did some crafts.  It was a really fun few days.  Since not many people on the coast own sleds, we got creative with the Cozy Coupes.  We would push the girls and they would sail down the road.  

 Then we transitioned to the laundry basket.  Thank goodness when we got tired of pushing and pulling, they had each other to turn to. 


Luke enjoyed most of his snow days from inside

FEBRUARY:

From snow to shorts - gotta love NC winters.  Some warm days gave us a chance to put Luke in the swing.  When the girls were little they spent a lot of time swinging - the difference now is that instead of pushing two swings, I have two big girls who want to push Luke.  


These three have fun together!  Luke loves to be in a big bed under the covers, especially when his sisters are there to love on him. 


We spend one weekend at my parents house with our good friends the Barclays.  The girls had a great time playing dress up
